Update!

The programming of the car has been completed and now, only the sawing out of two grips is left for us.

Plan B

Here is a brief description of our new plan. Instead of two moving arms, there will only be one moving arms and one stationary arm.(refer to the picture above). Fabrication and programming will begin this week.

Change of Plans

We are not going with the Plan A in the previous post. We modified the plan so there is only one moving arm. We will post up pictures of our plan once they are completed.

Plan A

This is our Plan A for the Can-Can challenge. Please click to enlarge the photo. There is one servo motor, that would be connected to a 16-teeth gear. This gear would be connected to two bigger gears. The motor is the one that would open and close the clamps As you can see from the picture, there is also a rubber strip at the part where the can is supposed to be gripped. This is to increase friction so that the can does not slip away.

Btw, we could find a way to make the images clearer, so we would gladly show it to you on Thursday.
